SWORD import not working
I have tried to use SWORD V1 and V2 to deposit a SWORD package. These tests failed with different errors.
I tried to deposit to the Library Test Collection using the following commands with the following results:
SWORD V1
curl -i --data-binary "@example.zip" -H "Content-Disposition: filename=example.zip" -H "Content-Type: application/zip" -H "X-Packaging: http://purl.org/net/sword-types/METSDSpaceSIP" -H "X-No-Op: false" -H "X-Verbose: true" https://vtechworks-dev-ds7.cloud.lib.vt.edu/sword/servicedocument/10919/91907 --user "kdweeks@vt.edu"
Warning: Couldn't read data from file "example.zip", this makes an empty POST.

The SWORD package I'm using is example.zip from the DSpace 7 documentation and should work with SWORDv1 and SWORDv2. It can be downloaded here: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/main/dspace-sword/example

@vtkeithg or @goynejennifer I have not spent a lot of time troubleshooting this issue yet. If anything stands out to you, please let me know.
@kdweeks Do you have any documentation on how this works I would be happy to test as well as to send this along to Astha for testing. Just let me know. Thanks!

Local documentation used for DSpace 6 is here: https://code.vt.edu/digital-research-services/VTechWorks_Documentation/-/wikis/sword
There is a lot there, but the main thing I gleaned for that is from the section: https://code.vt.edu/digital-research-services/VTechWorks_Documentation/-/wikis/sword#sword-and-swordv2-testing-2021-09-24 and below.
Today in this section I found that "The Symplectic Elements Repository Tools 2 connector uses Sword v2 in addition to the REST API and OAI-PMH when run in "full integration" (bidirectional) mode." which also may be of concern.

I was able to figure something out here after many errors and get some successful deposits.
First, make sure that the example.zip file is in your current directory and readable, so that curl can send the data.
Then, for SWORDv1 deposit:
curl -i --data-binary "@example.zip" -H "Content-Disposition: filename=example.zip" -H "Content-Type: application/zip" -H "X-Packaging: http://purl.org/net/sword-types/METSDSpaceSIP" -H "X-No-Op: false" -H "X-Verbose: true" https://vtechworks-dev-ds7.cloud.lib.vt.edu/sword/deposit/10919/91907 --user "kdweeks@vt.edu"There, I've changed the "servicedocument" part of the deposit url to "deposit"
For a SWORDv2 deposit:
curl -i --data-binary "@example.zip" -H "Content-Disposition: filename=example.zip" -H "Content-Type: application/zip" -H "Packaging: http://purl.org/net/sword/package/METSDSpaceSIP" -H "X-No-Op: false" -H "X-Verbose: true" https://vtechworks-dev-ds7.cloud.lib.vt.edu/swordv2/collection/10919/91907 --user "kdweeks@vt.edu"In that one...
- the deposit url is changed, from "sword" or "sword2" to "swordv2" and notice that it uses "collection" instead of "deposit" which was used in version 1.
- X-Packaging header name has changed to Packaging (no X)
- There is also a different URL for that packaging name
Hope this works for you, and if you have a chance and our Wiki isn't correct, could you update it? I'm going to be out tomorrow but can look more into this when I get back if we still have problems.
Thanks!
Edited by Keith Gilbertson@vtkeithg Does this work or does this still need testing.

@vtkeithg Thank you for figuring this out. I was able to test out your findings and they worked perfectly. It took me longer to find and approve my deposits after that than anything else!
@goynejennifer Thank you for reaching out to help.
The documentation does need to be updated at: https://code.vt.edu/digital-research-services/VTechWorks_Documentation/-/wikis/sword#sword-for-journal-deposit. I have added this to the backlog.
